1 What activities are you applying for?

Fill in Table 1a with details of what you are applying for.

If you are applying for a permit for an intensive farm please refer to the example EPR application form guidance and supporting documents on our website.

Fill in a separate table for each installation you are applying for. Use a separate sheet if you have a long list and send it to us with your application form. Tell us the reference you have given the document.

Table 1a – Types of activities

An installation with all the proposed activities listed in Schedule 1 of the Environmental Permitting Regulations (EPR) and all directly associated activities (in separate rows).

Schedule 1 references: Quote the section number, Part A(1) or A(2) or B, then paragraph and sub paragraph number as shown in Part 2 of Schedule 1 to the regulations.

Description of the activity: Use the description from Schedule 1 of the regulations. Include any extra detail that you think would help to accurately describe what you want to do.

Annex I or II (disposal and recovery) code(s) and description(s) - Fill in for installations that take waste only.

Identify the Waste Framework Directive Annex I and II Disposal and Recovery codes that apply to each Schedule 1 activity or waste facility.

Note: Applicable for ALL installations: The revised Waste Framework Directive (rWFD) came into force on 12 December 2010. The Waste (England and Wales) Regulations 2011 (‘the Waste Regulations’) transpose the rWFD in England and Wales. You should be aware of the requirements set out in the Waste Regulations and in particular in relation to the need to take all such measures available to you as are reasonable in the circumstances to apply the waste hierarchy. You should also be aware of the requirements in relation to mixing of hazardous waste and energy efficiency in incineration/co-incineration that may affect your proposals.

Further guidance on the Waste Framework Directive requirements can be found on the Welsh Government website.

**Description of any directly associated activities (DAAs):** Complete this as a separate line and give an accurate description of any other activities associated with your Schedule 1 activity. Note that you cannot have DAAs as part of a mobile plant application.

**Table 1b – Template example: types of waste accepted and restrictions**

Table 1b provides details of the activities that you wish to be permitted for. If those activities take waste you need to tell us which wastes you want to receive for each activity.

For each waste you want to receive for a specified activity, you need to provide the ‘List of Wastes’ code and description [Ref – List of Wastes (England) Regulations 2005, List of Wastes (Wales) Regulations 2005]. If the waste is marked with an asterisk in the list of wastes, the waste is hazardous. Remember to put the asterisk for that waste as it is part of the code.

You may wish to, or have to, restrict the type of waste you receive for a specified activity – this might, for example, be for safety or legal reasons. The restriction might be based on:

- the quantity of the waste; for example, 16 06 01\* lead batteries – no more than 500 tonnes;
- the description of a particular waste within a code; for example, 16 01 03 – bicycle tyres only;
- hazardous property; for example, no corrosive waste (H8);
- physical form; for example, 06 03 11\* solid salts and solutions containing cyanides – no liquids;
- the nature or attribute of the waste; for example, no odorous wastes;
- excluding specific substances [at specific concentrations]; for example, no chromium (VII) substances [greater than 1000 ppm];
- container type or size; for example, no IBCs.

If there are any restrictions to your activity put them into Table 1b. Send it to us with your application form. You can use Table 1b in the application form B3 as a template.

**2 Emissions to air, water and land**

Fill in Table 2 with details of point source emissions resulting from your operating techniques for each of your installations.

Emission point reference and location: Give a unique reference for each emission point and a description of the location, including the site plan reference that shows the emission point.

Parameter: For example – ‘Oxides of Nitrogen, expressed as NO2’.

Amount: Maximum amount justified by H1 assessment.

Unit: For example – ‘mg/m³’.

Fill in one table for each installation.

**3 Operating techniques**

**3a Technical standards**

Refer to ‘How to comply with your environmental permit’ and, where relevant, any activity specific technical guidance note that applies to your installations. The activity specific technical guidance notes are listed in Part 7 of ‘How to comply’.

‘How to comply’ and the activity specific notes highlight the key issues that you must address in your response to this section.

Decide whether or not you can meet the technical standards described.

Complete one table for each of the installations you detailed in Table 1 as follows.

Installation reference: Use the unique identifier that you used in Table 1. Schedule 1 activity, directly associated activity: Fill in the Schedule 1 reference, directly associated activity.

Relevant technical guidance note: List the relevant technical note or notes you are planning to use. This will normally be ‘How to comply’ plus any relevant activity specific notes referred to in Part 7 of ‘How to comply’.

Document reference: Where the relevant standard is that set out in the technical guidance note there is no requirement to justify it.

Where there is no technical standard, the technical guidance is not detailed enough, or where you propose an alternative standard you must provide justification for your decision.

You must list the options you have chosen to control emissions from your installation. For mobile plant this must apply to the plant itself and not a deployment site.

You should use the terminology from the technical guidance note and make reference to the relevant sections in the technical guidance. This will ensure that we are clear as to the technical standards you are proposing.

Where the technical guidance sets out a single standard, you need do no more than list it to confirm you are adopting that standard.

There will also be cases where you wish to use a standard other than those set out in the technical guidance (or where there is no technical guidance covering your proposed activity). In these cases you must justify that your proposed technical standard is appropriate.

The Environmental Risk Assessment (EPR–H1) provides a methodology for comparing different techniques both in terms of comparing impacts and cost and benefits. You should use the EPR–H1 options appraisal methodology to justify each of the decisions you have made in selecting technical standards. Where you wish to use an alternative methodology it must address the same issues as in EPR–H1 to an equivalent level of detail.

Your justification may be that your proposals provide the same or better environmental protection as those in the guidance. Where they provide lower protection, but you are hoping to justify them on the basis of lower cost, the Environmental Risk Assessment (EPR–H1 Part 3) provides a methodology for comparing different techniques both in terms of comparing impacts and cost and benefits. Where you wish to use an alternative methodology it must address the same issues as in EPR–H1 to an equivalent level of detail. Give the document references here and send the documents with the application form when you’ve completed it. The document reference may be to individual sections of the EPR–H1 assessment. Illustrate the configuration using block diagram(s) to help describe the process.

**Sector specific requirements for the block diagram**

Chemicals sector: Where you are carrying out chemical reactions, list the transformations involved.

Combustion sector: Highlight any units which are subject to Chapter III of the Industrial Emissions Directive (IED).

Waste treatment and storage: Where you are carrying out any Schedule 1 Chapter 5 waste activity and directly associated activity, identify the Waste Framework Directive Annex IIA and IIB Disposal and Recovery codes that apply to each such operation.

**3b General requirements**

Note: Fill in a separate Table 3b for each installation.

**Installation reference:** Use the unique identifier that you used in Table 1.

Emissions management plan (dealing with emissions of substances not controlled by emission limits): Where the technical guidance note or H1 assessment shows that emissions, apart from those to land and water, are a key issue, you must send us your emissions management plan. Give the document references here and send the documents with the application form when you’ve completed it. ‘How to comply’ requires that emissions to land and water should always be addressed in Table 2 above.

Odour management plan: Where the technical guidance note or H1 assessment shows that odours are a key issue, you must send us your odour management plan. Give the document references here and send the documents with the application form when you’ve completed it. If you think that odour is unlikely to be a problem from your activities, please say so and briefly describe why.

Please refer to the odour guidance (H4) this can be accessed via our website.

Noise and/or vibration management plan: Where the technical guidance note, H1 or H3 assessment shows that noise or vibration are key issues, you must send us your noise and/or vibration management plan. Give the document references here and send the documents with the application form when you’ve completed it. If you believe that noise is unlikely to be a problem from your activities, please say so and briefly describe why. Fire management plan: Where our fire guidance note shows that you store materials or are carrying out an activity for which the risk of fire is a key issue, you must send us your fire management plan. Give the document references here and send the documents with the application form when you’ve completed it.

3c Types and amounts of raw materials

This only applies to installations, excluding landfills. Fill in a separate table for each installation detailed in Table 1.

Installation reference: Use the unique identifier that you used in Table 1.

Schedule 1 activity: Fill in the Schedule 1 reference used in Table 1.

Total treatment capacity: Fill in the treatment capacity of your activity in tonnes per day.

Material: List all the raw materials you will use.

Maximum amount: Specify the maximum amount of raw materials you intend to have on site at any time.

Annual throughput: Specify the total amount of each raw material that you will use annually.

Description including any hazard code: Describe each raw material and specify the appropriate hazard code. Fill in a separate sheet (one per facility) if your list of raw materials is extensive and give a document reference here.

3d Information for specific sectors

Refer to the additional questions relevant to the type of facility you are applying for, as follows:

Combustion: appendix 1 Chemicals: appendix 2 Intensive farming: appendix 3 Clinical waste: appendix 4 Disposing of and recovering hazardous and non-hazardous waste: appendix 5 Incinerating waste: appendix 6 Landfill: appendix 7

Guidance on completing these questions is provided in corresponding sections of this guidance document.

4 Monitoring

4a Give us a description of the measures you will put in place to monitor emissions. This should include any environmental monitoring; for example, bio-aerosol monitoring, surface water or groundwater, noise, ambient air monitoring, process and land monitoring. It should also describe the frequency of any monitoring, the measurement methodology you will use and the procedure for evaluating your results.

You must provide a permanent means of access to monitoring points. Reference each emission point detailed in Table 2. You will need to do this for each installation.

4b Point source emissions to air only

In order to comply with the technical requirements of methods used to sample point source emissions to air, an appropriate sample location must be provided. For new installations the sample location and associated facilities must be considered at the design stage. Technical Guidance Note (TGN) M1 on sampling requirements for monitoring point source emissions to air provides guidance on:

- the selection of the sampling position;
- sampling plane and sampling points;
- access, facilities and services required; and
- safety considerations.

5 Environmental impact assessment

Tell us if your proposals have been the subject of an environmental impact assessment (EIA). If they have, you will need to send us a copy of the environmental statement.

If the procedure has been completed, you will also need to send us: • a copy of the planning permission; and • the committee report and decision on the EIA.

6 Resource efficiency and climate change

If the site is a landfill you only need to complete this section if the application includes landfill gas engines.

The relationship between the IPPC Directive energy efficiency requirements and the climate change levy (CCL) is dealt with in questions 6b, 6c and 6d. The requirements will be met provided that either:

• the operator meets the basic energy requirements set out in the relevant technical guidance and holds a valid climate change levy agreement (CCLA) or Trading Agreement with the Government; or • the operator meets the basic energy requirements and the further, sector specific energy requirements, both of which are set out in the relevant technical guidance.

If you are relying on a CCLA, we need proof that you have indeed entered into such an agreement. In response to question 9d, therefore, please provide as a minimum a copy of the front sheet of the underlying agreement signed by Defra (CCLA certificates will not be issued by Defra in the first instance), together with a list of participating sites. If you want to send us the complete underlying agreement, please do so.

6d Tell us about, and justify your reasons for, the raw and other materials, other substances and water that you will use

Explain and justify the raw and other materials, other substances and water that you will use.

6e Describe how you avoid producing waste in line with Council Directive 2008/98/EC on waste

Describe how each installation in your application will avoid waste production in accordance with Council Directive 2008/98/EC on waste. Where you do produce waste you must describe how it is recovered. If it is technically or economically impossible to recover the waste you produce, you must describe how it will be disposed of in a way that avoids or reduces any impact on the environment.

Note: are you applying for a municipal waste-only incinerator?

An incineration plant dedicated to the processing of municipal solid waste can qualify as a recovery operation using the R1 Energy Efficiency formula in Annex II of the Waste Framework Directive 2008/98/EC (WfD).

Operators applying for a new EPR permit can make a R1 application at the time of the permit application provided there is sufficient design information to complete the application form.

There is no fee associated with making an application but, in some cases, it may be necessary for us to instruct an independent expert to review or verify elements of the application. This is only likely to take place in stage 3, when actual plant data is being assessed, and in these instances the costs will be recharged to the applicant.

Search for R1 Energy Efficiency Formula on the Environment Agency website.
